Sometimes I just don't know how to respond to myLot discussions

I usually have a lot to say, just ask my husband! That's why he likes it when I talk to all of you and leave him alone LOL! But, there are times I just can't think of anything to say in a comment that would make any sense.
If a discussion already has 20 or more comments, all basically the same, I hate to add another 'boring' comment to the mix so I might not comment at all. However, there are times when I probably say something that makes no sense to anyone but me! That's life right?!
Yesterday was one of those day. I think it had more to do with the mood of the world after the bombings. I decided it was far better for me to limit my time and my comments as I just couldn't come up with anything appropriate. My time was better used elsewhere.
Do you ever feel like that?

Sometimes I do a driveby like...depends on my mood.
If someone has a load of similar comments I'll give the like and go away.

Sometimes it's impossible, that's why often people go off topic with comments, or almost off topic.

That is often a problem. How do I keep responding and keep it fresh.

@AbbyGreenhill I think here it doesn't matter if it goes off-topic. It's a different mind-set really to Bubblews.

There are not a lot of members who have a filter to what they post on this site. I was happy that I didn't have much time to read yesterday, because I figured that it would be a lot of ignorant comments regarding that horrific event. When I am on the site and there are discussions and comments that annoy me, I just close my laptop and move on to something else.

I know what you mean. There are things that often annoy me (and I'm sure I annoy others at times) so instead of saying something 'off color or nasty' I move on.

I've been too busy to spend a great deal of time here in the last two weeks. before that I had internet issues. Too bad the bank balance also reflects my lack of mylotting.

I only did comments yesterday it being a somber day. I didn't want to start any discussions, or respond to new ones. I am sure others felt the same way, as I just didn't feel like being in here. I will try to do a little more each day though, s i do love the interaction anc learning from others as well, all while earning.

I have those days as well. If someone has already said something similar to what I was going to say, then I tend to leave a comment in his or her response box. I may also leave a silly response on the discussion if I think that the poster of the discussion will not mind.

Lol, I say just say it. I don't care if someone says the same thing to me ten times in a town in a comment. Because a comment is a comment and this is what you feel needs to be said so just say it.
